03 Cummins S.O. BD RAD HELP!!!!

Thanks everyone I have went to 3 shops trying to figure out why my truck is spitting and sputtering after cts2 install at 1/2- 3/4- full throttle takeoffs.

Well after $1500 later and new parts and still does it. I did a bunch a research and found out that I got a Torque Management issue.

So I find the BD RAD box and install it and cant seem to get it to work. call bd and they don't help much on the tech side. So I install another bd box and still nothing.

I traced the wires from the wire loom from the upper firewall down to the ecm and got the correct wires do a resistance check and tests great.
White with yellow stripe VSS wire
Vioet with yellow stripe abs or whatever it is

With switch on or off my Speedometer doesn't work.
With switch on or off doesn't change the takeoff power.

Take the VSS wires out of the box and twist them together and I get my speedometer back working.

It ran smooth. But really slow. They say you won't feel the torque management stock.

It's real common on 01-02 Cummins that's I have a video I'm trying to load so you can see what it's doing.

BD is suppose to call me when they find someone that knows about the box and can help.
